TL;DR: The approach followed here may lead to more productive and sustainable water treatment membranes, whereas the variable levels of permeability obtained with different concentrations of AqpZ may provide a key property for drug delivery applications.

TL;DR: This review covers biological paradigm that are relevant to membranes for separations and then presents an overview of strategies that are inspired by these paradigms, both fundamental and practical challenges to implementation of these strategies at application relevant scales.

TL;DR: A short review of current applications of high molecular weight polyacrylamide (PAM) can be found in this paper, where the potential for PAM degradation by chemical, mechanical, thermal, photolytic, and biological processes are discussed along with issues related to the potential toxicity and mobility of PAM in the environment after disposal or accidental release.

TL;DR: It is shown that concentration gradients can develop in a surprisingly wide variety of physical phenomena - imposed gradients, asymmetric reactions, dissolution, crystallization, evaporation, mixing, sedimentation, and others - so that diffusiophoresis is in fact a very common transport mechanism, in both natural and artificial systems.

TL;DR: Evaluated the effect of pretreatment on SWRO performance using bench scale experiments and found that particulate matter greater than 1 microm (representing media filtration) caused most of the RO fouling.
